The Mets' offensive stats have been dismal, with fewest runs scored in the majors, the lowest on-base percentage, slugging percentage and OPS entering play. The team's performance was exacerbated by a doubleheader defeat by the Rockies. Hit coach Troy Snitker and director of major league hitting Jeff Albert were brought in to help rectify the team's poor performance. Despite these challenges, Snitk believes that the team can still turn this around. He also highlighted the need to improve their ball flight to the outfield and adjust to off-speed pitches better. The Mets' poor performance against high velocity has been attributed to a combination of players and coaches.
